Application tiled August 25,1882. (Modch) To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, CHARLES PFAUNTZ, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Im- 5 provement in Hinges, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the acco'mpanyin gd rawin gs, forming part of this specification, and in which- Figurelisalongitudinal sectionot' my hinge open. Fig. 2 is a similar view, closed. Fig. 3'is an outside end view closed, and Fig. 4t is and inside end view closed. Fig. 5 is a detached back view, and Fig. 6 is a detached front view.

My present invention relates to an improvement on Letters Patent No. 255,809, hearing date April 4, 1882, and, like said patent, relates to a hinge that is non-projecting.

The objectot' mypresentinventionis to overcome certain difficulties incident to said hinge, as theexpense of manufacturing it and the difficulty of casting or welding the parts. v

My present invention consistsin forming the eyes of the distance piece with projections, 2 and the eyes of the leaves with projections, which projections are so located that when the pintle-pins are put in they will come together, causing the parts to operate as set forth in said patent.

A A represent the leaves of the hinge, and B the distance-piece. Each leaf has eyes A, as shown, between which fitthe respective eyes B of the distance-piece B.

O are the pintle pins, passing through the two sets of eyes.

Projecting from each end of the outer portion of the respective eyes of the distancepiece is a projection, D, and in like manner projecting from the inner portion of the ends of the eyes of each leaf are projections E. Now, when the parts of the hinge are put together the projecting parts of the respective eyes fit in the reduced parts of the other eyes, and when the hinge is operated, and when opened and closed, the projections come together, as described in said patent.

I claim as my invention--- In a non-projecting hinge, the leaves A A, with lugs E projecting inward from the inner portion of their eyes A, in combination with 0 the distance-piece B, with eyes B, having lugs D extending outward from the outer portions, all arranged and operating substantially as shown and described, for the purpose set forth.
